Solution : False.
Example 24 : The sides AB and CD of a quadrilateral ABCD
are extended to points P and Q respectively. Is
∠ADQ + ∠CBP = ∠A + ∠C? Give reason.
Solution : Join AC, then

∠ADQ = ∠ACD + ∠DAC
(Exterior angles of triangles)
Therefore, ∠CBP + ∠ADQ = ∠BCA + ∠BAC + ∠ACD + ∠DAC
= (∠BCA + ∠ACD) + (∠BAC + ∠DAC)
= ∠C + ∠A

Example 25 : If AM and CN are perpendiculars on the diagonal BD of a
parallelogram ABCD, Is ΔAMD ≅ ΔCNB? Give reason.
Solution :
In triangles AMD and CNB,
AD = BC (opposite sides of parallelogram)
∠AMB = ∠CNB = 900
∠ADM = ∠NBC (AD || BC and BD is transversal.)
So, ΔAMD ≅ ΔCNB (AAS)
Example 26 : Construct a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = AD =
5cm, BC = CD = 7cm and BD = 6cm. What type of
quadrilateral is this?
Solution : Looking at the rough figure, draw a line segment BD =
6cm. Taking B and D as centres and 5 cm radius, draw
arcs to intersect at the point A, then taking B and D as
centres and 7 cm radius, draw arcs in the opposite side
of A to intersect at the point C. Join AB, AD and BC, DC.
Then ABCD is the required quadrilateral. It is a kite.

Now, sum of exterior angles of a polygon is 360°,
therefore, x + 60° + 90° + 90° + 40° = 360°
x + 280° = 360°

Example 28 : Two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio
4:5. Find their measures.
Solution : Let the angles be 4x and 5x.
Then, 4x + 5x = 180°
9x = 180°
x = 20°
So, angles are 4 × 20° = 80° and 5 × 20° =100°.
Example 29 : The four angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5 : 6.
Find the angles.
Solution : Let angles be 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x.
Thus, 3x + 4x + 5x + 6x = 360° since sum of the angles of
a quadrilateral is 360°.
So, 18x = 360°
or, x = 20°
Thus, angles are 60°, 80°, 100°, 120°.
Example 30 : In a parallelogram PQRS, the
bisectors of ∠P and ∠Q meet at
O. Find ∠POQ.
Solution : Since OP and OQ are the
bisectors of ∠P and ∠Q
respectively (see figure on the
right),
so, ∠OPQ =
1
2
∠P and ∠OQP =

In ΔPOQ,

∠Q = 180°
i.e. ∠POQ = 180° –

or x = 3600

Example 32 : The ratio of exterior angle to interior angle of a regular

Example 34 : Construct a rhombus PAIR, given that PA = 6 cm and
angle ∠A = 110°.
Solution :
Since in a rhombus, all sides are equal so, PA = AI = IR =
RP = 6cm
Also, rhombus is a parallelogram
so, adjacent angle, ∠I = 180° – 110° = 70°

MATHEMATICS
Steps of construction
1. Draw AI = 6 cm
2. Draw ray AX
uuur
such that ∠IAX = 110° and draw IY
uur
such that ∠AIY = 70°.
3. With A and I as centres and radius 6cm draw arcs
intersecting AX and IY at P and R respectively.
4. Join PR.
Thus, PAIR is the required rhombus.
Example 35 : One of the diagonals of a rhombus and its sides are equal.
Find the angles of the rhombus.
Solution : Let PQRS be a rhombus such that its diagonal PR is
equal to its side, that is, PQ = QR = RS = PS = PR
So, ΔPRS and ΔPQR are equilateral.
∠S = ∠Q = 60° [Each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60°.]
and
∠P = ∠1 + ∠2 = 60° + 60° = 120° = ∠R
Hence ∠S = ∠Q = 60° and ∠P = ∠R = 120°
Example 36 : In the figure, HOPE is a rectangle. Its diagonals meet at
G. If HG = 5x + 1 and EG = 4x + 19, find x.
Solution :
Since diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other,
HP = 2HG = 2 (5x + 1) = 10x +2

UNIT-5
and OE = 2EG = 2(4x +19) = 8x + 38
Diagonals of a rectangle are equal. So HP = OE
or 10x + 2 = 8x + 38
or 2x = 36 or x = 18
Example 37 : Application on the problem strategy
RICE is a rhombus. Find x, y, z.
Justify your findings. Hence, find the
perimeter of the rhombus.
Solution : Understand and explore the problem
We have to find the values of x, y, z.
i.e. OE, OY and side IR of the rhombus
and perimeter of the rhombus.
What do we know?
RICE is a rhombus and
OC = 12, OE = 5, OI = x + 2, OR = x + y
Plan a strategy
(1) We have to find the parts of the diagonal. Use
diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other.
(2) We have to find the side of the rhombus. We use
diagonals intersect at right angles and apply
pythagoras theorem.
(3) Since all sides of a rhombus are equal, perimeter of
the rhombus = 4 × side.
Solve
Step 1. OI = OE ⇒ x + 2 = 5 or x = 5 – 2 = 3.
OC = OR ⇒ 12 = y + x or y = 12 – x
12 – 3 = 9
Step 2. EOR is a right triangle

MATHEMATICS
ER = 169 = 13cm
Step 3. Since all sides of a rhombus are equal.
∴ RE = RI = IC = CE = 13 cm.
Perimeter of RICE = 4 × RE = 4 × 13 cm
= 52 cm
Revise
We have been asked to find x, y and z and we have found
that.
Checking
x + 2 = 5 and x = 3 ⇒ 3 + 2 = 5
Hence value of x is correct.
x + y = 12 Q x = 3 and y = 9
and 3 + 9 = 12 ⇒ value of y is correct.
Perimeter of rhombus = 2 2
2 d1 + d2 (where d1 and d2
are diagonals)

2 24 + 10

1 : Constructing a Tessellation
Tessellation: A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated over and
over again covering a plane surface without any gaps or overlaps.
Regular Tesselations : It means a tessellation made up of congruent regular
polygons. For example:
A tessellation of triangles
This arrangement can be extended to complete tiling of a floor (or tessellation).
Rules for Regular Tessellation:
(i) In tessellation there should be no overlappings/gaps between tiles.
(ii) The tiles must be regular polygons.
(iii) Design at each vertex must look the same.
Caution
Will pentagons work?
The interior angle of a pentagon is 1080
. . .
1800
+ 1080
+ 1080
= 3240
degrees . . . No!
Thus, since the regular polygons must fill the plane at each vertex, the
interior angle must be an exact divisor of 360°.

UNIT-5
Now, find the regular polygon that can tessellate by trying a sample
in table below.
Polygon Tessellation
1. Triangle
2. Square
3. Regular Pentagon
4. Regular Hexagon
5. Regular Heptagon
6. Regular Octagon
Conclusion
Thus, only regular polygons that can tessellate are

Assignment
1. You can construct a tessellation on computer using following steps:
- Hold down a basic images and copy it to paintbrush.
- Keep on moving and pasting by positioning each to see a
tessellation.

MATHEMATICS
2. Semi Regular Tessellation : These are made by using two or more
different regular polygons. Every vertex must have the same
configuration, e.g.:
Y - yellow
B - Blue
G - Green
R - Red
Now discover same more tessellation of this type .
